I can't believe so many expect 45-60 point win today. ETSU is playing us like a team going into their Super Bowl. I kept saying we have to be careful with this team. They are good enough to give us fits in week one. If this was week 6 or 7 I would have said this would be 63-3 or something but week one is always a tossup as to how things will go.

We have to give them credit for giving us a good first half.

This game on offense also shows us that Sutton is indeed a big time talent and missed. When he got suspended I felt that might cost us 1-2 TDs. He is the best WR in the SBC and we need him to be at full force. I hope he is ready and puts up a monster game next week.

I feel like we are also seeing the growing pains in the new offensive system. They will work out the kinks. Lucky to have two easy games to start.

Can anyone describe what happened to Peoples? Everyone on Twitter is acting like he’s dead.

Replay didn’t show much. Kinda looked like maybe turf toe or something, perhaps?

I think what you are seeing is a direct result of running a very vanilla offense to focus on executing our bread and butter play.

We beat a 32 point spread and held them to 7 and this is the tone of the cabin?!

I’m only concerned with pass coverage and I think that’ll improve with film study and reps.

Honestly, that was a pretty clean game by App. That throw by Huesman was a man’s throw.

I hope no one is suggesting vanilla playcalling is a bad thing in a season opener against a SoCon team.

Observations--
Good
We are very disciplined, not alot of blown coverages or penalties on either side of the ball.
Methodical on offense--no late calls to the huddle, good tempo. Didn't show a whole lot, but didn't need to.
Team seemed well conditioned.

Bad
Zero pass rush
Lack of fire on defense
The Appalachian State

I think defensive adjustments are easy. Playbook will open up
